This way you not only get an overview of the great variety of this genre, but also find your way more quickly to your own photographic style.
You will also be inspired by 20 internationally recognized street photographers including Elliott Erwitt, Saul Leiter and Matt Stuart. Their fascinating images will broaden your horizons as will their respective perspectives on street photography and their special methods.
